Ezra had been pining away for Imogen for the past 7 years, and when he was finally going to act on his feelings, he suddenly found himself body swapping with Wynonna, his enemy and Imogen's best friend.
This was actually a fun and interesting take on the whole body-swap plot. Like many other stories employing this plot device, the two "swappers" had envied the other's life, but where it differed was in the way Wynonna and Ezra kept switching back and forth. The abrupt swapping added some comedic and dramatic moments, but also worked with the authors exploration of gender and sexual fluidity.
Ezra was a stand out for me. I really enjoyed his narration, which was witty and amusing, and I grew to really like Ezra. He was rather complex, and I enjoyed peeling back those layers. I also liked that by being forced to literally walk in someone else's shoes, he learned a lot about himself, his family, and many other people in and around his life.
Overall, this book was quite fun, and there was a lot of good messaging, as well as interesting ideas presented, however, I felt like it was longer than it should have been. There were a few places, though sort of interesting, which didn't really contribute to the story as a whole, and probably could have been trimmed. I also would have liked a little bit more from the ending. There were several loose ends, which I would have liked to see tied up.
Still, an interesting and entertaining book.
